Das Licht

And so I woke, into the light
To touch your face, it felt so bright
But after light comes dark, and after laughter tears
I ate my cake to swallow my fears
I saw it dim
I saw it flicker
I pulled the plug, to make it quicker
In trying to give, I took it all
Flew into the light, and now I fall
I adore the light until it wanes
I got so close I burst into flames
I sought the light at every turn
I held you tight, until it burned
In trying to give, I took it all
